Ahhh..thanks Jim.  I live in zone 6, and we have more humidity than
Austin/San Antonio...but the guy I bought it from said it was very hardy in
Oklahoma, could make it through a winter here.  He said they look better if
I keep them trimmed down in early spring before new growth hit.  Makes them
fuller.
